I'm sure these guys have better thing sto do than throw away their money, through careful analysis of their earnings report and CC, I feel this is a bet worth taking... it's a risk...
Next Up HERBALIFE, they have a analyst presentation at 3:00 today so we ought to be able to time our purchase just right and then hopefully get an upgrade or two tomorrow. Most analysts feel currency and slow Mexico are the main culprits for HLF... these things can moderate, their US sales are quite strong... they are so international though that can be a problem... just opened in Ecuador of all places. Nice Insider here too....
I think these are going to be my only two plays of the Barron's game... GMCR is RIGHT THERE I could get pushed in quite easily... and American Express I'm thinking more and more about....
Now as to you all I REALLY MUST SAY GOOD JOB! YOUR NOT POSTING HERE TELLS ME THAT YOU ARE DOING LOTS OF DUE DILIGENCE HOWEVER THE WEEK IS ONLY SO LONG... I IMPLORE YOU TO MAKE YOUR CASE NOW... OR YOU WILL HAVE TO JUST BUY
SFI & HLF AND LEAVE IT AT THAT. ~ stoney
